In our store, most of the sales of vinyl 45's were attributed to Mobile DJ's doing weddings or parties who, if they received a request for a particular song, would rather spend under $3.00 for a vinyl single than a C.D. which were quite expensive in 1992. It's also funny when I think about it that the demographics for a 45 RPM single buyer in the late 60's was female and 16-17 years of age, and in the 80's, it was male and 30-40 years of age!! -Bill. ]]> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 16:32:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=53563&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#53563 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=53536&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#53536 Author: eric_a

By 1992, weren't jukebox operators driving most vinyl 45
sales? I bet that market would have lagged radio and
retail sales, since coin-op consumers looked for
familiar tunes.]]> Wed, 19 Feb 2020 11:30:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=53536&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#53536 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=53534&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#53534 Author: thecdguy

Good question. I guess to appease the vinyl 45 lovers? By
then, in 1992, Cassette Singles were outselling 45's, so
that would explain why customers had stopped asking for
it by the time the 45 came out. I guess the bigger
question is why did they wait so long to release the 45? ]]> Wed, 19 Feb 2020 10:56:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=53534&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#53534 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=53452&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#53452 Author: ChicagoBill

So I guess this is a case where the 45 and Cassette
Single versions were different? The US 45 listing on
Discogs shows "Just For Tonight - Single Mix" as both
the A and B side of the 45. Wonder why they didn't put
something else on the B-Side?

my cassingle issued as wing 865888 does not state a version on the sleeve or cassette but does list a run time of 4:27 and is the same as the full length cd/lp version from the cd

(4:26) Wing/Mercury 843522 The Comfort Zone (LP version)

so the entries in the d/b are incorrect....the cassingle and lp versions are the same.....

i also have the promo cd single issued as wing cdp 673 with three tracks all listed as the same version as listed below

1-just for tonight (single edit) (4:19 listed; 4:18 actual)


so the d/b entries need to be changed...]]> Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:56:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=29198&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#29198 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6077&PID=29157&title=vanessa-williams-just-for-tonight#29157 Author: aaronk

I've got this one... it is indeed the remixed 'Single Edit' version. The promo actually has this mix repeated for a total of 3 tracks.

The disc itself reads "1, 2 & 3: Just For Tonight (Single Edit) 4:19".

There is an online listing for a US promo CD of "Just For Tonight" with catalog number CDP 673. It is a 1-track with a printed time of 4:19, but the listing doesn't say what version is listed on the disc. I've seen US 45s label the song as "Single Edit."

I do have a copy on my TM Century GoldDisc labeled as "Single Edit" with an actual time of 4:19. It appears the database will likely have to be updated, as nothing is currently listed next to the CDs containing the song.
